Indian low-cost carrier SpiceJet and Bahrain’s Gulf Air have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore opportunities for cooperation.
This includes interlining and codesharing, coordinating cargo services, along with opportunities to collaborate in pilot training and engineering services.
“The signing of this MOU between the two carriers aims at initiation of collaboration between the two carriers, and further strengthening the strong ties between India and the Kingdom of Bahrain,” says SpiceJet in a statement posted on the Bombay stock exchange.
Cirium schedules data shows that SpiceJet does not fly between India and Bahrain, and the only operators are compatriot Air India and its Air India Express subsidiary, as well as Gulf Air.
These routes are mostly operated by Gulf Air, which flies from Bahrain to Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kozhikode, Kochi, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai and Trivandrum.
Air India plies the Delhi-Bahrain route, while Air India Express flies from Kozhikode, Kannur, and Mangalore to Bahrain.
